Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP MY 2011 JEEP COMPASS WITH GAS, I TURN THE CAR ON AND DRIVE OFF. IN MINUTES THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND CAR STALLS. CAR IS GETTING POWER, ALL COMPONENTS ARE STILL WORKING (LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC.). I TURN CAR OFF AND RESTART AND IT SPUTTERS AND FINALLY STARTS AND IS DRIVABLE. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE STEERING LOCKING UP AND THE INABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR WHEN IT STALLS.
